Escape for Thy Life
Genesis 19:17
And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for your life; look not behind you…


When danger is behind us we should strain all our powers to escape from it as Indians or settlers do to escape from the prairie fires in America. A tribe of Indians, who were swift of foot, once gave a white man they intended to kill a chance to escape by running whilst they all pursued him. He ran with such mad haste that he managed, though with great difficulty, to escape. Look not behind thee,... lest thou be consumed (Genesis 19:17).
